New Grower my bud isnt dank

[sniper]

SPOT ON b0b!!! Gotta show you some love for that tid bit!!! Not many folks get that about expended energy on cannabis plants!!!.....the plant doesn't rotate in the ground outside either!!!

outside the light moves

outside the light moves

inside it shouldnt have too , unless your cheap and not providing enough , but the same applies , DO NOT TURN YOUR PLANTS , REASON BEING WHAT I POSTED ABOVE , I DONT CARE WHO YOU ARE , IF YOU ARGUE THE POINT YOU ARE WRONG !

edit, outdoors it moves , but the plant is still hit from every angle , arguing indoors vs outdoors is like arguing day and night !

I know the light outside moves, but in a tent or closet, the plant doesn't need to move because of reflection. Hence, the plant still gets light from all angles and sides and can use ALL its energy for growth and flower. If one wants to turn their plants, then if it makes you feel good, do it. Lets all take a 2 plant challenge on our next grow. 1 plant turned a 1/2 turn daily and 1 not and compile the results.

Hi all I recently harvested 3 AKR. The 1st akr I pulled at 11 weeks gave it 1 flush, and when that eas dry and curing it was really dank and had an awesome taste.. I pulled the next 2 at 12 weeks and gave 2 flushes and like 45 hrs of dark. Dried it and is currently in curing process but I did try it and there is no dank smell and not as great taste..
Can anyone explain where the dank ass smell comes from and how I can obtain it..

Well, my three AKR's were not dank (very sticky and overpowering aroma).

The taste was plain old hashy and buds were not sticky like some strains. It is a good couchlocker.

I think you left your caps lock on bob

however , when you turn your plant it then uses the energy to turn leaves and even branches towards the brightest light source , when you turn it the next day it wastes that energy doing that all over again

I was thinking more about a less-uniform UVB light source (to enhance tric development) and that it would be beneficial to expose the entire plant.

I never thought about the effect of rotating the plant. If I had thought about it, it would have seemed equally intuitive that "uniform exposure" is better. But, what you say makes a great deal of sense. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Back to UVB: Would it make sense to move the (clip-on) CFL every day to expose different sides of a plant? Would that relatively small and supplemental light moving around cause the problem you mentioned?

I'm just starting to experiment with UVB. (The reason I mentioned it here: I was thinking more resinous buds could affect dankness. Trying to stay on-topic with the OP's question.).

I have tried a few different strains and they all just don't taste good or rather taste and smell how I want them too. It could be that I need to flush them longer? So far I have been flushing them twice in about 9 or 10 days. As far as curing goes I'm pretty sure I have that under control. I was getting about 8 ounces per harvest in my previous tent but now with the new tent I'm looking about 14 ounces or so. I know that the AKR has the potential to be dank because I have had 1 plant out of all of them which was really dank giving me the idea that it is possible. The reason I'm sticking with the AKR is for the simple fact that it is labeled to have the most thc. .. I have recently come across some chemdog autos so I have 2 of them going along side my 10 AKR .. really hoping that this chemdog blows everything outta the water. I know I'm just being picky about taste and smell but whatever since I'm growing it I want what I want. Has anyone tried chemdog yet??

might not be as damaging moving a small light source , you would however have some leaves n branches following the light

i use reptile uvb enhanced lights and from my results i can say they worked for me in adding to the trichome development

if turning a plant indoors gives someone better results they need to seriously think about bettering their environment

At the risk of hijacking the OP's topic:

1. Do you use multiple CFLs (or a T8 or T5 tube) for more uniform exposure? Or, does it not matter?

2. When do you start using it?

3. How long do you expose the plant each day, and what distance do you use?

I can see how turning might give better results, but I also see your point. My first auto grow was under t5s. In flower I added 2 warm CFLs (front left and rear left sides of plant). I think rotating was the "lessor of two evils." But, it would have been better to add 2 more CFLs for even coverage than to rate the plant.

Definitely good info. I would have never thought about the plant expending energy to follow the light. I can see how that rotation could have caused the sides to orient toward the side lighting, then orient to the top lighting when the side disappeared.

My only skepticism is that a lot of knowledgeable people use "light movers" for more even coverage. Maybe that's different? Not as drastic as rotating the light? Maybe the direct correlation to rotating would be just rotating the plant 10 degrees (back and forth) to cast shadows slightly differently, not a half- (or full-) rotation?

most people ive talked to that use light movers is so they dont have the added expense of buying and running a 2nd light

my rooms are rather large multi light rooms , the reptile cfls i use are small/low wattage and multiple ones are spread throughout the rooms , being the small 10.0 uvb bulbs i run them same amount of time as my hps lights be it photo flowering or auto
